The Killarney Genealogy centre was setup to transcribe parish records in early 90's I think. Not sure if it was ever open to the public and its operations have ceased AFAIK. The birth deaths and marriages office in St. Columbanus Home is kerry office of http://www.gro.ie/ . Anyone who needs a certificate for driving licience passport etc gets it there. Its not setup specifically for genealogy but as they have all state registered births deaths and marriages from 1850's it is a useful place to get info.
